The aim of this study is to investigate the scientific output of faculty members of Sari University in Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources based on h index in Scopus citation. The study is a descriptive survey and method was citation analysis.

Among faculty members with a professorship rating of 55.6%, 41.7% with a rank of associate professors, 44.4% had an associate professor with an H index. The highest amount of scientific production was in 2007; also, highest research age of faculty members was 16 years old. The faculty of crop sciences with 19 has the most faculty members indexed in Scopus database. Faculty of animal science and fisheries has 18, faculty of natural science has 17, faculty of agricultural engineering has 12, and faculty of basic science with 4 members in Scopus database has the fewest members. In conclusion, to raise the h index, faculty members must be encouraged and supported to present articles in credible citation databases, research budgets must be increased, training courses must be conducted for writing ISI articles, validated databases and scientific journals, and high impact coefficients for improving science production must be introduced.

The study’s purpose is to explain Guilford’s intelligence model as a management information system processor with library and museum’s entities in the content, processing operations, and products levels. The research method is exploratory and content analysis. The findings show that in the content level, auditory is equivalent with audio content objects, visual is equivalent with visual content objects, semantic meaning is equivalent with the specialized knowledge’s audio and visual content objects, symbol is equivalent with ISSN and ISBN, and Fankha identifiers, behavioral is equivalent with responses based on the knowledge of users. At the level of processing operations, recognition is equivalent with the process of recognizing content objects, memory is equivalent with the process of storage and retrieval, divergent thinking is equivalent with the process of creating value added information and knowledge, intellectualism is equivalent with the process of categorizing objective and subjective information, explicit and implicit knowledge’s content objects, evaluation is equivalent with the process of evaluating performance. At the level of the product, the unit is equivalent with the elements of content objects, the relationship between the units is equivalent to the relation of the elements of content objects, the class of the group is equivalent to the classification of content objects, the system of identification of structural relationships is equivalent to creating the semantic content of content objects, the transformation of the processing is equivalent to extraction, discovery, and argumentation of available data, the application derived from the use of content is equivalent with databases, expert systems, and mapping of knowledge. As a result, the information management system for library and museum performance entities is possible based on the structure of Gilford’s conceptual framework of intelligence

This study aimed to forecast of organizational entrepreneurship based on distributed leadership components was performed. Methodology of this research was descriptive – correlational research. The population of research was the employees of defense industry in 2016 year, the approximate volume of 600 persons constituted. Simple random sampling was used in this study. Number of samples based on Kregci-Morgan table, 234 person were selected.

Results showed that components of distributed leadership provided a significant explaining R2=56 percent of variance organizational entrepreneurship (p<0/01, F(4, 225) =63/96, R=0/75) and Quality of participatory decision making (β= 0/251), confidence (β= 0/242), organizational culture (β= 0/226) and components of assignment, lookout and goals (β= 0/132) quota is significant and quota of other components isn’t significant. Therefore, it is imperative that attempts to induce and develop entrepreneurial abilities of employees through appropriate leadership styles as a serious priority should be placed on the agenda of policymakers and planners and top executives of organizations.
